Accessibility in email signatures: the parts that actually matter

By EmailArt team

Accessibility in email is less about ticking a WCAG box and more about not annoying the person on the other end of the message.

The short list

Alt text on the logo — the company name, not "logo.png"
4.5:1 contrast between text and background, always
Phone number as a real tel: link with sensible tap-target padding
Real text, not text-in-image (see the previous post on this)
Sensible heading hierarchy inside the signature

None of it is hard; all of it is usually skipped. EmailArt templates enforce these defaults so you don't have to remember them.
